These photos of a Martin 000-42 Marquis were provided by a private owner who knew it was one of our all-time favorite guitars made by Martin.
I own one bought new in 2007 and still in excellent condition. Now I have arthritis and can’t make it sing like I used to.
I am sorry to hear about the arthritis, Bob. I gave up V necks for similar reasons. The guitars sang but the thumb socket on my fretting hand yowled, ad to say. Good luck with it!
